"Creating an RPG is something new for Paradox Development Studio, and it's been a dream project we've wanted to undertake for a long time now," said Paradox Development Studio manager Johan Andersson.

"We're always playing RPGs in our spare time and discovering new things we love about them as a game genre; it was only natural that sooner or later we'd have to design our own. Runemaster is the result, and we know our fans will love it."

The title casts players in the role of a champion in a time of turmoil.

It features procedural maps and quests, six worlds of Norse myth, as well as tactical combat.
